    Good luck, man. Sometimes, the frustration, fatigue and occasional boredom that comes with raising a toddler is really exhausting. The emotional toll dealing with a teen/young adult though sounds like a whole different level. Our 18 month-old is becoming a lot more fun. The words are still coming very slowly, but he is at least attempting to communicate what he wants rather than immediately throwing a fit, and playtime is waaaay more fun than when he was younger. He's also made it through 3 straight weeks of daycare without getting sick, a new personal record!

    I love how this dude, who was in high school this time last year, stops runners in their tracks without giving up a single extra yard. He could be at a standstill and the ball carrier with a full head of steam gets wrapped up and put down without Hill giving up an inch.

    Yea, that's some bullshit. It should be at an island nation that could be underwater by the end of the century. That way, at least the decision-makers have to look the people who are most fucked in the eye as they kick the can down the road.

    Nations Agree to Phase Out Fossil Fuels at COP28 I'll believe it when I see it, and seems like something that should have been done at the very first summit. But it's something, I guess?

    And native Madagascar people do not like them, perhaps because they are the creepiest little fuckers you could dream up. Just imagine hearing a Tap-Tap-Tap while walking through the forest at night and seeing this freak staring back at you, long finger extended menacingly. Unfortunately, that's probably part of the reason they're endangered, jn addition, of course, to Madagascar's forests vanishing. Oh, badass skull though.

    The leucistic red-tailed hawk that I usually see way up on a radio tower was hanging out in a neighborhood tree for great looks.

    Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

    How brilliant by the fsu punter to take a hit, knowing Louisville would have to move the ball at least a few yards, rather than attempting to kick it with the potential for an ST score.

    Shit has been slow around here recently, but I'm becoming increasingly optimistic that I will be joining my birding friends in NE Colombia next August. Basically heaven on Earth for a birder.

    Yea, we can argue about Alabama and Oregon passing/remaining ahead of us, but it's really dumb to act like osu gets in ahead of us if we win and fsu loses. That is nonsense.

    What in the world are you talking about? If UW is undefeated, they are in.

    He and Greg McElroy are frustratingly competent.

    Will the tcu/ou total be > 60 points more than nebraska/iowa?

    I like thinking you've managed to avoid catching whatever the little one gets, only to have some combination of constant exposure and sleep deprivation finally catch up to you a week later and put you on your ass.

    Our guy made it through a week before getting hand, foot and mouth. 2 weeks and multiple pedi visits later, we ended up in the ER, where his respiratory panel also showed RSV, adenovirus and rhinovirus, in addition to an ear infection. We made it nearly two and a half weeks through daycare before the current bug, which seems tame by comparison. Just a fever and waking up in the middle of the night to vomit up all the snot draining down his throat. But he at least isn't a zombie or crying uncontrollably.

    18-month sleep regression + molars coming in + beginning daycare viral cocktail is really taking its toll right now.

    Personally, I prefer to use Surly as my Cliffs Notes version of the news.

    Agreed, I'd hate to watch our secondary against either of them. But it seems unlikely that we're in if a pac12 team makes it, as you mentioned.

    If Florida wants to just knock out FSU sans Travis, beaver makes up for their near miss against Oregon (not likely, I know), and Oregon beats Washington, that would be cool. I don't think we're a very dominant team, but still feel we'd have a chance against anyone if we got in.

    Every time I switch over to this game, UW #1 is picking off a pass or erasing a play. He seems good.
  23. hookem2010
    Why sell out like that? D line is owning ISU, and if they get a 1st, big fucking deal. They still have to drive the field and waste time. Soooooo dumb

    Just finished my first watch of both BoB and the Pacific the last couple of weeks. The Pacific got hated on upthread a bit, and while not as good as BoB, I thought it was still pretty captivating. The Okinawa episode(s?) were great, with Snafu and Sledge wrestling with their humanity as they confront civilians caught up in the battle. Can't wait for Masters of the Air.

    115 total passing yards. Fun game, guys.
